What is Asbestos in Lilli Pilli?

Asbestos is the common term to describe a number of naturally occurring fibrous material. Products made from asbestos cement (bonded asbestos material) include:
– Fibro sheeting (flat and corrugated)
– Water
– Drainage and flue pipes
– Roofing shingles and guttering

All asbestos types are classified as carcinogenic (cancer causing) and prolonged exposure to high concentrations of asbestos fibres can cause asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma. Only fibro products made before 1987 contain asbestos. The manufacture and use of asbestos products was banned in Australia in December 2003.

Where is Asbestos found?Asbestos can be found in buildings, workplaces and dwellings built before 1990. Buildings, workplaces and dwellings that have been built after 1990 can also contain asbestos.Asbestos in Lilli Pilli can be difficult to identify and it is often impossible to confirm it’s presence by a visual inspection. The only way to be certain whether asbestos is present is to have a sample of the material analysed by an accredited laboratory.
You should never attempt to sample anything you believe may contain asbestos. It is very dangerous and should only be done by a licensed contractor.

Health risks?Health problems can occur when people are unaware of the hazards of working with asbestos and do not take appropriate precautions. The important factor is to always work to minimise the release of dust and small particles from asbestos material.

Breathing in asbestos fibres has been linked to three respiratory diseases, all of which can be fatal:
1. Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease that leads to respiratory impairment and diseases including lung cancer.
2. Lung cancer caused by asbestos cannot be distinguished from those cancers that are caused by other agents.
3. Mesothelioma is a cancer in two forms – pleural which is a tumour of the lung; and peritoneal, which is a cancer of the abdominal cavity.
